I downloaded the .NET 3 and 3.5 Frameworks and then attempted to install them on my Windows Server 2008 R2 web server, but I was told I must install them through the Server Manager –> Features menu. So I did:

After rebooting, I launched Internet Information Services to create a new .NET 3.5 AppPool but… where is it?

During some research I was reminded that the 3.0 and 3.5 frameworks were actually additions to .NET 2.0, and not entirely new frameworks themselves. Oh how easily I forget. So if you’ve installed .NET 3.5.1, you should choose the .NET Framework v2.0.50727 to run any 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, or 3.5.1 applications.

If you install the .NET 4.0 Framework, that appears separately as shown.
